Property description

Believed to date back to around 1790, Wood Cottage is a classically styled Grade II listed Georgian residence which has attracted much admiration over the years. This is a stunning family home located within the picturesque village of Sutton enjoying beautiful views over surrounding farmland. The main house is laid out over two floors with a cellar and side extension. On the ground floor there is an exquisite hall with tall skirtings and ornate mouldings, a theme that runs through much of the house. light and airy drawing room with windows to three sides, dining room, kitchen with an Aga, utility and cloakroom. To the first floor there is an elegant landing with a tall arched window and balustrade, four double bedrooms with large sash windows and two bathrooms. The coach house adjoining the property accommodates a double garage and workshop as well as a first floor studio with a triple aspect and a large sky light. The formal gardens to Wood Cottage extends to over half an acre being predominantly laid to lawn with stone paths, mature well stocked beds and hedged borders. Having been in the same ownership for over 50 years, the next custodian of Wood Cottage would need to undertake some sympathetic restoration to return the property to its former glory.
